They only have themselves to blame to be honest, kicking 1 from 4 attempts isn't good enough. Refusing that Drop-Goal attempt with 5 mins' left was suicidal as well!
The red card was an absolutely dreadful decision, I thought Wales did magnificently to pick themselves up from that and then give it such a good go. That said the chances they missed have done for them. Given how poor this French team is, it's likely one of those would have been enough. I reckon he didn't take on the drop in the last five minutes because he'd lost his bottle when he missed the conversion.
Unlucky to be on the end of a tough ref decision. Still had chances though. Why oh why didn't they try the drop? Gave it their all though, they could be a force for a few years now.
One question from a relative rugby newbie Why when they're trying to break through the line do they pass to a forward standing beside them who then gets walloped for no gain? Why not have the forward set off a little deeper so that he's running at pace by the time he gets to the line and receives the pass. Surely he then stands more chance of breaking through? Passing to a stationary player seems so frustrating.
